Summary

Preventing Loss of Independence through Exercise (PLIÉ) is a unique, multimodal movement program for people with dementia (affected individuals) that is taught by trained instructors and combines physical, mental and social activities. The Paired PLIÉ Program is an adapted version designed for pairs of affected individuals and care partners. The goal of this study is to perform a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) with a delayed start design to examine the effects of the Paired PLIÉ Program on function and quality of life in affected individuals and care partners.

BEHAVIORAL

Paired PLIÉ Program

The Paired PLIÉ Program is a novel, multimodal, movement program that focuses on abilities that are well maintained in people with dementia, including training procedural ('muscle') memory for basic daily movements, in-the-moment mindful body awareness, and social engagement. Group classes are held with affected individuals, care partners and instructors together. A monthly home visit also is provided.

BEHAVIORAL

Waitlist control

After engaging in usual activities for 12 weeks, the Waitlist control group participates in the Paired PLIÉ program.
